How much does a website for a catering company cost?

From $4,500 one-time at Nabee Studio (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included. One scoping pass produces a fixed number — no hourly billing.

What should a catering company website include?

Beyond presenting the business: the workflows that remove manual work — structured event-quote intake and online ordering for drop-off & corporate — plus the integrations catering companies actually use.

Who maintains the website after launch?

We do. The Maintenance Plan ($299/mo, included in the payment plan) covers hosting, SSL, security, backups, updates, and small content changes — you never inherit a server login you didn't ask for.

Is a template or website builder good enough instead?

Sometimes — if the site just needs to exist and you're happy doing the manual work a template can't remove. The honest comparison is in our custom vs website builder guide.

Custom website for catering companies

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

A custom website for a catering company costs from $4,500 one-time at Nabee Studio, or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. Unlike a template, it's designed around how a catering company actually operates — removing the manual touchpoints (Building custom per-person quotes by hand for every event inquiry) that template sites force on you.

A catering website has to serve two very different buyers on the same site. One is planning a wedding or gala and needs a considered quote; the other wants forty box lunches by Thursday and will bounce the instant they hit a phone number. A good build separates these paths clearly: a structured event-inquiry flow for the custom side, and real online ordering for the repeatable, drop-off side.

We design the menu system so it lives in one place and reuses everywhere — seasonal changes update the site, the order forms, and any downloadable sheets at once. The event-quote intake captures exactly what you need to price accurately, so proposals stop starting from a blank page.

The reality for most catering companies

Every quote is built from scratch

Per-person pricing shifts with menu, service style, and staffing, so owners rebuild each proposal in a spreadsheet or email. A structured event-inquiry form that captures head count, date, service type, and dietary needs feeds a quote you can generate in minutes instead of an hour.

Corporate and drop-off orders don't need a human at all

Office lunches, boxed meals, and platters are repeatable and time-sensitive. Forcing them through a phone call loses the order to any competitor with online ordering. A menu with per-item ordering and a cutoff time captures that revenue while you sleep.

Final counts, dietary needs, and tastings live in scattered texts

The details that make or break an event trickle in by text and email up to the day before. When there's no single source, something gets missed. A client portal or structured confirmation flow keeps counts, allergies, and timelines in one place.

What does it cost?

One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Most caterers need a website with structured quoting and drop-off ordering, not a logged-in platform — a full client portal only pays off for high-volume operations juggling many concurrent events.

Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.

The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
